Sacred Heart University is firmly committed to maintaining a learning, living, and working environment for the University community free of sexual harassment. The Sexual Harassment Policy describes the University's policy toward sexual harassment of any kind including sexual assault, sexual harassment, dating/relationship violence (intimate partner), domestic violence, stalking, and zero tolerance towards any sexual violence. It also provides guidance for those who have been involved in an incident of sexual harassment, outlines the University's disciplinary response to alleged incidents, and identifies campus and community resources within the University responsible for managing the policy and programs associated with it. Sacred Heart University's policy is intended to comply with relevant state and federal statutes and it applies to faculty, staff and students.

Public Safety - Silent Witness

Community Standards and Title IX work very closely with Office of Public Safety. As a means for students and members of the University community to become more familiar and see Public Safety as a resource, read the mission of the office and visit their website for additional resources and information.

Public Safety is entrusted with fostering and maintaining a safe and secure environment for the University community to pursue their academic, professional and personal ambitions. Dedicated to supporting the educational mission of the University, we value experiential learning and emphasize conflict resolution in all our interactions with students. Committed to serving with professional excellence, we strive to be approachable, reliable and truly service-oriented in the performance of our duties. The department maintains strong, professional relationships with municipal police, fire and health responders to ensure continuous collaboration on emergency planning efforts and familiarity with our campus in the event of an emergency.

Anonymous complaints may be submitted via Public Safety's Silent Witness Program. The Silent Witness Program is established to bring information of concern to the attention of University officials for analysis, which serves to heighten “situational awareness” and our ability to gain knowledge in a timely manner regarding security or safety matters that could impact our campus community. Our goal is to provide this anonymous method for complaints to be reported, investigated and assistance given to help prevent violence on campus, when reporters may not feel able to identify themselves.
